Though Drew often comes across as a stiff Victorian stereotype, Lee writes with empathy for small, steadfast Lanthy, her people, and her simple, sufficient way of life.Select 'Records and Full text' to search both the metadata and available full text. Drew, aware that Lanthy could not survive away from her beloved Gap, accepts a job there as schoolmaster and imports a brass bed (gold, to her) for their new home. There is a tense moment when Drew returns and Lanthy stabs her hand to keep her outraged father from shooting her returning seducer but happiness is complete when the couple wed. Meanwhile, unwavering Lanthy has named their daughter Glory and rejected the new preacher's proposal. It is more than a year before the sister dies and Drew clears up her affairs and returns. When Drew is called back to Boston for a sister's illness, Lanthy is pregnant, but she doesn't mention this in the response she sends to his one early letter. (We learn later that he is a former alcoholic from a well-to-do Boston family, now pursuing an interest in nature study on the advice of a family doctor.) Less understandable than Lanthy's is his immediate interest and feeling for her-but in this kind of story, love does not need reasons. Lame since birth and the oldest of three sisters, Lanthy fights off her marriage-minded cousin's advances but is drawn at first sight to newcomer Drew Thorndike, an educated young stranger who settles down in a shack on the Farr's property. A sweet love story that seems to unfold naturally, without hurry, like life in Appalachia's Dewfall Gap around 1910, when Lanthy (Ailanthus) Farr is 18.
